Abstract:
Recently, since muscle relxants has been used routinely, it is very important to understand the state of muscle relaxation during and after anethesia for safe anesthesia. But it is difficult that all patients have the opportunity to be helped by the auto-recording neuromuscular monitor, because of high in price. Therefore, many anesthesiologists have been using the simple tactile neuromuscular monitor for the evaluation of muscle relaxation, but there are many difference to evaluate for the reponse of muscle contraction by tactile or visual sensation. This study was designed to investigate the method of recording on the response of nerve stimulation from simple tactile neuromuscular monitor. The pressure generated from moving of thumb connected with finger ring lock syringe by ulnar nerve stimulation was transmitted to the invasive blood pressure monitor through the arterial pressure transducer. As a result, this method could record the response of single twitch stimulation, train-of-four stimulation, tetanic stimulation, post-tetanic count and double-burst stimulation displaying in the invasive blood pressure monitor, and was exellent in recording compared with auto-record- ing neuromuscular monitor.
